The Vine
by David Pekrul
copyright 04-19-2005


Age Rating: 10 to 127

 
Poking its head above the surface
of the hard-packed earth,
it looks up, and struggles to find its way
into the warmth of the sun;
A thin fragile shoot, barely visible now,
it will one day be the envy of all.

The world is cruel,
as it is beaten by rain,
scorched by sun,
one moment dry, parched,
another, cold; barely surviving.

The vine becomes old and gnarled,
its bounty small and unassuming.
But men will come and
pick from its branches.
the flesh of its being,
(crushed and bleeding),
will become the nectar of the gods.

Great imagaery. I like using metaphors from nature to capture a human drama or feeling. Neat!

This in essence is life. Birth, life and death. A shortened version? Maybe sometimes, but a very nice poem. Thanks, Anthony

I like this one David, very thought provoking.
Is it my imagination or do I detect an analogy to the human condition?
Keep them coming, Brian.
